THE 2021 CONFERENCE ON TEST SECURITY
No matter your industry, you will find valuable content that is relevant to your area of expertise at #COTS2021. Join experts from all types of organizations as they discuss the test security capabilities and enhancements that protect the validity of test results and brand integrity.
The 2021 conference will be hosted in partnership with ETS. While we had hoped to be able to convene in-person in Princeton, safety concerns and travel constraints have prompted us to hold the event virtually this year. We hope you will join us virtually at COTS 2021 to explore emerging test security capabilities and research on Oct. 6-7, Nov. 3-4, and Dec. 1-2.
